[Nfb-krafters-korner] not lack of sight

[Charlotte]

We have good public transit here, but they have so many rules. One of my 
most frustrating things is finding transportation to take my things to 
shows. Our transit system only allows 4 parcels under 50 pounds, which 
doesn't allow you to take much. By the time you factor in inventory, 
displays, etc. you're way over the limit. I either find people who don't 
want to do it or who want to charge so much that it's not worth me doing 
the show.
